Where Can I Buy xStocks (Tokenized Stocks) on Solana? Struggling with Kraken and Low Liquidity – Advice Needed (From Italy)

Hey r/solana community,

I’m based in Italy and have been trying to get exposure to the stock market by converting some of my Bitcoin into tokenized stocks (xStocks) on Solana. I love the idea of xStocks, but I’m hitting roadblocks everywhere. Here’s what’s going on:

• On Kraken Exchange, I can only buy xStocks with fiat currency (like EUR or USD). They don’t let me convert my crypto directly to xStocks – no crypto-to-xStock pairs available. It’s super frustrating because I want to use my existing holdings.
• I’ve checked out Kamino Finance, and while some xStocks are listed there (like tokenized Tesla or Apple), not all the ones I’m interested in are available. Same issue everywhere with Ondo Finance Stocks!
• When I look at CEX and DEXes and liquidity pools, the liquidity seems really low for these assets. I can only find pools for a handful of stocks, and the volumes are tiny, which makes me worried about slippage and getting fair prices.

Basically, I want to convert part of my BTC into these Solana-based tokenized stocks (or Ondo) to get indirect exposure to the US stock market. Are there any reliable platforms, DEXes, or protocols where I can do this seamlessly? Any Italy-specific tips or regulatory things I should know about (since I’m in the EU)?

Appreciate any recommendations, guides, or personal experiences! Thanks in advance.
